    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Was just thinking that myself, a very good year :)

 

I think we should all buy a telephone recorder, phone up a random DCA and have some fun with them, then we could put them on here for our amusement. I volunteer to go first, someone is acting on behalf of Shatwest, I had an empty account they started to put charges on every month, it is up to about £500 overdrawn now and I haven't paid in a penny since last August lol! It's a shame they haven't bought it, I could have recorded the conversation where I tell them they have bought some unenforceable charges.....

Well now I'm out of work again, I'm hitting Shabbey and Tatwest for £1600 in charges and interest using the OFT's thingie on hardship, to try and get them to cough up some cash. After them losing the appeal, they might decide to cough up, as I've been giving them loads of hassle for the last 18 months.

Thanks. Been applying for about 30 different jobs over the last week and a half. What amazes me is how few respond when you apply. First 6 applications I did were wednesday last week, and not a single one of them has responded, even though I sent my CV, covering letter, and copies of references. I wish the DCA's were like that. :D

 

A DCA that has a call centre near here is recruiting. I might try and infiltrate and see if I can find out any good gossip to post here. I won't put on my CV that I'm savvy with OFT guidelines, CCA74, CPUTR 2006. That will be of no interest to them.

In the bank section of the forum there's a library post with all the templates you need to reclaim charges.

 

Been using them myself to help Abbey part with £1300 in charges 8% interest + court costs (when the time comes)

Just a grand? They took that off me in 1 month. I asked them to suspend 10 direct debits because I had not been paid. They failed to do so and bounced each direct debit 3 times in 1 month - charging 35 per pop. Total charge 1050 in one month!!

Go into a Halifax branch & ring their customer relations on 08457 25 35 19

 

Run up their phone bill not your own...i use their phones to ring everyone like the water,gas,elec etc....:D

 

Do note that you have to "exaggerate" abit on how much hardship you are under as a result of the charges & show it on the i & e form they will send you (i didnt need to send any proof, just told a load of fibs on the form)...believe me it worked. :razz:

Within couple of weeks they crumbled & offered me £91 refund....thanks very much......oh & ran up their phone bill for the added satisfaction as well :D

Most of that was for 2 months worth. I abandoned the account, otherwise it would have been a lot higher.

 

My next door neighbours is a real good one. 3 accounts amounting to about £3k on each and statements for all 3 going back to 1990. Running them through the spreadsheet to calculate the 8% interest was very interesting. By the time that lot is reclaimed, I don't think they'll have to worry about the mortgage payments and I'll get a few months supply of free beer.

Better yet, set up your own premium rate number and call that from the Halifax. Make money out of them!!

My faves have been my Lowell ones-

 

1) when i just kept playing my MR T keyring down the phone to them - SHUT UP FOOL - made me laugh but they hung up

 

2) when I was asking them to answer my security questions to prove they were Lowell, again they hung up

I'm worse at what I do best and for this gift I feel blessed

Haven't had any silly calls from DCAs in a while as our house phone has been kaput since December, doesnt bother us as anyone who needs us phones on our mobiles...

 

Great news about the banks, they should 'do the decent thing' and not waste any more of OUR money (now we are bailing THEM out) and pay up when asked.

 

Abbey National and RBS already have my claims - worth about £3k in total.

Next door neighbour came up with a good one today -

he's been having some hassle from BorinScum, Why? and Cun'pany.

 

"We will be sending someone out to see you"

 

So I suggested the "revocation of licence" letter.

 

He said:

 

Nah, I'm gonna put a sign on the gate - £30 entry fee.

I'm just wondering if he can get away with clamping them for non-payment!

 

I'm making some gingerbread men tomorrow. Moorcroft are supposed to be visiting sometime next week. So I intend to hand them a gingerbread man with a message on the back of it in red icing.

 

"F off, this account has no enforceable CCA."

 

I had to get out the 8" gingerbread man cutter to be able to fit all that on easily.

 

It's ok though. I'll bill them for the visit afterwards.

 

If they do turn up, I have a video camera set up all ready.

I doubt they'll turn up though. Only DCA visit I had was Moorcroft in 2001 when I belived DCA crap in the pre cag days.

 

I have been on Moonpig.com and sorted out a nice card to send to uncle bob and chums at 1st Credit, to congratulate them on their recent OFT slapping.

 

I'm off to bed now, to dream up some ideas for a new fuzzybobble video. Also a bit drunk due to celebrating the recent good news against the banks and DCA's. And I helped a friend win against Brighthouse, and aquired a collection of full lager cans as a result of this. Hic. :D

 

The recycling truck is due on monday, so I have a very busy weekend ahead of me.

 

Aluminium cans in one box. Steel cans in another box. And I spend 3 days turning lager into water, and 3 hangovers.

 

I think my new Halifax/Iqor/ agreement/ default notice, thread will have to wait until after the weekend. Shame as they said legal action would commence tomorrow (Ie thursday this week). lol :p
